I have no problem with this. On the contrary, I think that it is much better here.
Thank you very much Don  ;)

Is there a price range that you are looking for for each deck? Or what are some of the cards that you are interested in for exchange? Modern decks or other vintage decks..etc?

Hi PurpleIce,

Concerning the sale, the price range is different for every deck according to its quality and rarity. I have already had several messages of members interested to buy so I think of making as a small auction : I give the start price for the first person (for example $60 for the Triton) and if one second is interested, I let make a better offer but If nobody else has "bidded", you simply won the deck if you agree with the start price.

For the exchange I look for antique decks too and for example, If I exchange the Cabinet #707 deck, I would prefer another Russell & Morgan PTG Co deck or a deck of same value.

I hope I have answered your questions and if you have any others, please do not hesitate to ask me.

Hi Crypto,

If you plan on selling in that manner, I am going to request that you do so publicly on the thread. My concern is that a form of shill bidding can occur, where a seller can say to a buyer "Another member is messaging me saying he'll pay a higher price" even if that isn't the case, so that the real buyer must pay more. I am certainly not accusing you of this at all, but this is the best way to avoid it from happening to/from anyone. If there is bidding going on privately either, post the username of who is bidding on what, when they bid and what their "bid" or price range was.

Buyers: To go a step further on this, if you have a price in mind for a certain item, to protect yourself from this type of situation, post your "bid" on the thread directly in the form of a reply. That way, you and anyone else interested, knows that there was a real, tangible bid made from a real person on the forums.

Crypto: Although I know it may be a hassle as you said you've already gotten a few messages with bids, but please post or update your current post with the bids that you have received so far.

Thank you.

Actually, allow me to make it exceptionally simple for all involved.

Auction sales occurring directly on the Discourse are no longer permitted - we suspended them nearly a year ago.  If you wish to create an auction, I will ask that you post your sale on an auction site (eBay is preferred but any reputable site would be acceptable) and post a link to the auction here.

Cryptocard, if you would, please go back to the entry for each deck you're seeking to trade or sell and include for each deck something that you'd be willing to accept in exchange for the deck.  For example: "Looking for $100 or equal value in R&M decks" or "Seeking $75 OBO (or best offer)".  Our buyers find it easier to commit to a purchase when they know what you are looking to get in exchange.  "OBO" indicates you want a certain price, but are willing to go a little lower if you fail to sell at said price.

Thanks, gentlemen, for your time and attention.

Hi Angel_magic,

Thank you for your message. It's a difficult sometimes for me to understand all of the sentences perfectly but I think I understood the main in your post. I haven't thought about that point and I'm going to change the descriptions to include the first prices.
